1: the number of indispensable assistants, without whom our lives would be a distressing quagmire – Libby we love you!

Finally, the one and only best person in my life: Kimberly, without whom I would be lost…

Thank you to everyone who reads our blogs, follows us on Twitter, sends us questions, watches our videos, comes to our classes, and generally makes being deeply involved in the SQL community a joy.

I sincerely wish you all a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

Cheers!

(July 13; No prizes for guessing where we were…)

(August 23, at Cook’s Chasm on the Oregon coast while driving Katelyn’s car home from Berkeley – she road-tripped down with a friend)

(August 2, Kiera and I are the founding members of The Society for the Underwater Reenactment of Matrix Fight Scenes. Here we’re at around 50 feet, in NW Papua, Indonesia, acting out the fight between Seraph and Neo in The Matrix Reloaded. We had a hard time getting the jar of pencils to stay put… Kimberly thought we were crazy, and Katelyn simply avoided us )
